I don’t purport to know all the rules when it comes to joining the Mile High Club, but as a proud member (ahem), I can attest to the topic enlivening your average dinner party.
For my last night in NYC, a group of us got together to eat, drink and send me off in high style back to France. I’m not sure how the conversation started—probably it was about which is the best NYC-PAR flight (Continental for the wider seats; Air France for the food and free wine)—but we found out that I’m an MHC member, Phil’s a half-MHC member and Emch is also a member. And oddly (or not so oddly) enough, all three ladies in these encounters are Korean (right, including me.) What that says about Korean chicks, my male friends’ fetishes or the eroticism of air travel, I’m not sure.
Anyway, after some discussion, we determined that you can’t become a full-blown member unless one or both parties has reached their, um, destination (yeah, I know, what’s with the lame euphemisms?) via actual intercourse. There was also the added speculation that maybe you’re not really a member unless someone catches you, i.e. the whole tree-falling-in-the-forest thing. Well, Phil, Emch and I were all caught (from what I can remember of their stories), but only Emch and I are members due to Phil being interrupted.
As for my MHC story, it was on the Air France NYC-PAR flight (business, no less!) and I was determined to become a member and dragged Dman into the lavatory. After a brief discussion of what needed to take place, and how to maneuver in the narrow bathroom, Dman and I joined the club and promptly got caught when another passenger saw us both leave the toilet. I’ll never forget the look on her business-class face.
So there you have it. I am back in Paris after a rather cramped flight on Air France the night before last. I would recommend you avoid the window seat of the emergency exit row on the 777-300s. They’re about one-third narrower than the regular seats. And nope, I didn’t renew my membership. I’ll have to look into how often I need to refresh my MHC status…

Does having a wank on a flight count as joining the Mile High club. I hope so! Also what about using a sex toy during a flight. I hate flying so anything to remove the boredom is ok by me.
